Can you pick out the mother-and-daughter pair from a notable Suffield family?
Citizens Restoring Congamond, the two-town organization that works to improve and maintain the water quality and surroundings of the three beautiful ponds, held its spring fashion show on April 27 at The Cove in Southwick (formerly The Brass Rail). Presented by Yvonne Turgeon, the show’s ten volunteer models from both towns and two generations posed to show outfits from her Little Black Dress shop in Enfield (U.S.-made fashions at moderate prices), and after the luncheon and show the 85 ladies who attended managed to take home a good deal of the inventory brought to be sold.
A healthy fraction of the proceeds went to CRC, as well as nearly $1,000 from the popular raffle, whose support came from many local businesses. The principal prize was a New England boiled dinner for four, prepared in the winner’s home by Chef Andrew of The Cove. Janeene Crane, who managed the event in general for CRC, is the spouse of Jerry Crane, who always identifies their home town as “West, by God, Suffield!”
